Acknowledgement to Country

Sutherland Shire Council acknowledges the Dharawal speaking people who are the Traditional Custodians of the land of Sutherland Shire.
Council pays respect to the Elders past and present of the Dharawal nation and extends that respect to other Aboriginal people visiting this site.

The Sutherland Shire is unique in Australia's history, as Kamay Botany Bay was the location of the first recorded contact point between our First Nations people and Europeans.
